HPE Morpheus vs. IBM Cloudability

Morpheus is well suited for those who want to have a management pane of glass that will allow you to see what you are consuming and how you are consuming it. It also ties into many other types of software and the development team seems to be constantly improving the product. That lends it to being a bit complicated. If you want something easy to set up, this isn't your product.

I don't have much exposure to the tool. I mean, I'm relatively new to using it as a platform, but I haven't really seen the benefit, especially with the actual renewal talks at the company. I'm not seeing what AWS native solutions are, how probability improves on that as opposed to just using AWS and just, I don't know. I'm not seeing the benefit, at least in my eyes.

• Copious native 3rd party integrations.
• Ties into multiple public and private clouds for single management plane.
• True multi-tenancy.

Incentivized

• We are able to integrate multiple sources of data to have a comprehensive view of our spend.
• We are able to get more detailed insights via container dashboard for kubernetes spend
• A unified platform to manage overall cloud spend along with related FinOps spend

Incentivized

• More dashboard/visualization capabilities

• For me, it is a lot of anomaly detection and I think there's a lot of improvement that can be made to show anomalies that happen over time because if it's just day to day or week to week, you may not see the change. But if you see the trend over a period of time, show me something that has grown 40%, 50% over the past three months and maybe you can do those things and we just haven't figured them out yet. So we are very new to the product, but I think anomaly detection for me is one of the bigger things.

Cloudability has been one solution for almost all of our FinOps needs. Except for Data transfer costs, we have covered all use cases and have made significant savings across our cloud infrastructure. Reporting has provided management a deeper analysis into their spending and helped them forecast their budgets for next year

I gave the IBM Cloudability a 7/10 because it is good, but it could improve in some places. It is easy to get data uploaded and ready to view, but it is only up to a certain point in time, and not live data. As for how it looks, the interface is good for viewing, however navigation could be a little better, maybe supported with a roadmap.

Only been 1 or 2 occaisions when not available, in 3 years

Afternoons tend to be a little slower, due to US traffic I assume

We have always been able to reach the support organization at Morpheus on the rare event we needed them. They have been nothing but helpful.

While there have been few support cases where the experience was good. But in multiple support cases it's firstly delayed and even after weeks or months of time, team is not able to provide us with the RCA of the issue. All they are claiming is the issue is now fixed which I still see coming back after few days or weeks as we've never identified and addressed the root cause.

Training was adequate, but the real learning begins when you start using the product, like most things. All major functions were covered so as an entry point, was a good introduction to the product. The training pace was good as well, the areas were covered in decent depth, without being too much of an information overload.

We previously were using VRA. VRA, while some of the new versions look interesting is hard for both administration as well as end user consumption.

Before Apptio we extensively used the cloud native and in house automated and developed cost optimization tool using python , powershell and leveraging the various cloud native services like AWS systems manager , Azure Functions and Azure automation run books.

I wasn't personally involved, but all dealings with Apptio have been easy

• Apptio Cloudability has enabled us to charge back 100% of our cloud spend to our business users and on an automated basis through the use of ApptioOne
• Apptio Cloudability's transparency and metrics have enabled us to save millions of dollars in cloud spend across our user base.
